greater or less number of vines, and IN all
cases where proper care has been bestowed
they have borne large crops each year.

On these rich soils are hundreds of prlncely

There are great barns corrals and granar-

THE WOMAN,S RELIEF CORPS.
An Auxiliary to the Grand Army Posts
Its Rapid Growth.

The Woman's Relief Corps has existed
as national organization only since 1888,
but its noble principles were expressed and
practiced by an association of loyal women
at Portland, Me-, as early as 1868, its pri-
mary object being the relief and comfort
of the widows and orphans of Union SOL
diers. This first organization, which was
known as Bosworth Corps, acted as an aux
Hilary of Bosworth Post, G.. A. R., of that
city, and the members had signs and coun-
tersigns and were guided by modified rules
of the Grand Army. The good effects of
this corps were so much felt that the Wo-
mems State Relief Corps of Maine was
formed, and in April, 1879, the constitu-
ton of the Women's Relief Corps of Mas
sachusetts was framed at Fitchburg, Mass
To facilitate the work union board was
eventually formed, and to this associa-
ton Connecticut was finally admitted
This Board became the basis of what
was afterward the national order, and the
organization became known by the name
it now bears, Woman's Relief Corps. No
Post nor individual, however, claims the
credit of founding the national organiza-
ton, but all unite with Mrs NJ. A. Sawyer,
of the Maine State Relief Corps, in say
ing: "To the Grand Army, and not with
anything we have done, belongs whatever
credit goes with the creation of such an
association" The Maine Corps refused to
cooperate with the Union Board on ac-
count of difference in their regulations
the Maine Corps admitting to membership
only the wives, mothers, sisters and daugh-
, tiers of soldiers, while the Union Board,
i which now included Massachusetts,, Con-
necticut and New Hampshire admitted all
loyal women.
The Loyal Ladies' League, of New Jer-
sey, waich was formed about this time,
held the same views as the Maine Corps,
and the Soldiers Aid Society, of Toledo,
O., was also similar organization, al

Terrible are the Rayaees

Upon the system inflicted by diseases of
the kidneys and bladder They wreck the
constitution more speedily in some cases
than consumption and other maladies of a
fatal pulmonary type. As you value your
life, arrest tendency to debility, and con-
sequent inactivity of the renal organs,
should you experience any such. Infuse

that organ is sluggish. With this timely
check, Bright's disease, diabetes, catarrh OF

may be prevented. Liver complaint, con-

are likewise conquerable with this sovereign

revolution in the production of cereals on
the Coast. Ten years ago it cost from So
to 81 per acre to harvest and thrash an
acre of wheat or barley. Through the
efforts of the managers of these works, the
cost has now been reduced to less than one
half that amount. If the farmer owns the
combined harvester and the horses, he can
put the wheat in the sacks for % cents per

test with the cheap wheat of India and the

THE BUSINESS PORTION OF STOCKTON
Is composed of substantial brick and stone
blocks, and presents an imposing appear

size, cost and architectural beauty, would
be ornaments to the great cities of the
country.
THE RESIDENCE PORTION
Contains many charming places-models
of beauty, taste and elegance. The yards
and lawns are large, and are filled with
choice trees, flowing shrubbery and semi
tropical flowers. The streets are lined
with long avenues of shade trees, Lom-
hardy poplars, cork elms, palms, pepper
trees and almost every kind of tree that
grows in the North and South. These trees

PUBLIC BUILDINGS, ETC.
The new Courthouse of Stockton will
be a model of architectural beauty, and
will be noticeable addition to the many
fine buildings which meet the eye in every
direction.
The State Insane Asylum is located here

for Its support amount in round numbers
to quarter of a million dollars annually.
The merchants of Stockton have large
